‘New Normal’ Has Gay Old Time Mocking Christian Conservatives

We have yet another addition to the pro-gay, anti-Christian
genre so popular on TV these days. Apparently NBC is looking to cash in on the
falsehood that “abnormal is the new normal” with a
series focused on a gay couple’s quest to have a child via a surrogate mother.

In “The New Normal,” Bryan and David, a gay couple in a
committed partnership, turn to surrogacy because they “can’t have a child the
traditional way.” (When did biology become tradition? Ironic, how liberals ostentatiously
worship at the altar of science, until science gets in the way of their
gratification. Then it’s just a “tradition.”)

“The New Normal” is the brainchild of gay rights activist and
wannabe
pornographer Ryan Murphy (creator of “Glee” “American Horror Story” and
Nip/Tuck”), and wouldn’t be complete without portraying a “racist” and
“bigoted” conservative character. Cue Ellen Barkin.

Barkin recently made news when she tweeted
her wished Hurricane Isaac would “wash every pro-life, anti-education,
anti-woman, xenophobic, gay-bashing, racist SOB right into the ocean!”

Barkin periodically escapes obscurity in hate-filled tweets
that somehow draw attention, as when she joyfully
celebrated the death of Andrew Breitbart. Barkin is therefore she’s the
perfect choice portray a vicious caricature of conservatives and Christians.

Barkin’s character Nana is liberals’ fantasy conservative; a
scorned woman (her husband cheated on her with a man), prone to snide remarks
about the gay lifestyle and racists rants aimed at Hispanics, African-Americans
and Asians (“You people are so good with computers. Thanks for helping build
the railroads.”) Through the character, the writers get to take shots at real
conservatives. A black character she offended told her to “take her Callista
Gingrich hairdo and her racist mind back to the South where they belong.”

But don’t expect the kind of consistency you find in actual
live conservatives. Nana told her granddaughter Goldie (played by Georgia King)
about pregnancy: “You were so pretty; you wasted your entire life because you
got knocked up. I thought your mother was a fibroid tumor, by the time I
figured it out she had a face and I was screwed,” she told. That’s the liberal
view of children as punishment, not something an actual social conservative
would say.

Disgusted yet? Barkin’s despicable character is just the tip
of the iceberg.

The majority of the pilot focused on Goldie and her daughter.
Desperate to leave her old life (and Nana) behind, Goldie so she stole her
grandmother’s car and high tailed it to L.A.
with her eight-year-old in tow. Just as the duo were getting low on cash the
gay couple rushed to the rescue.

“The New Normal” pilot did it’s best to contrast happy and
functional gay relationships with broken and dysfunctional traditional marriages.
Characters Bryan and David share a flawless partnership, missing only a child.

But, whether intentional or not, the gay characters in “The
New Normal” don’t come off all that much better than Nana. They are vain and
shallow, obsessed with aesthetics. Bryan
decided it was time for him and his partner to “have a child” when he saw a
baby in a shopping mall. “It was the cutest thing, I’ve ever seen. I must have
it!” he exclaimed to David about this monumental decision. He continued,
“Honey, when I saw that miniature person, whose skin was flawless by the way, I
really got it.” Remember the chihuahua-as-accessory craze?

When a consultant from a surrogate agency told the couple
they could “create the perfect embryo, and then plant it in a surrogate. Just
like an Easy Bake Oven, except the surrogate has no rights to the cupcake,” Bryan responded, “I would
like a skinny, blonde child who doesn’t cry,” he demanded.

Thus, “The New Normal” gently skewers gay stereotypes on one
hand while giving as much calculated offense as possible to conservatives and
Christians.

In their search for a surrogate, Bryan and David leapt at
the chance to call a surrogate mother who looks like Gwyneth Paltrow, and Bryan cooed over a
candidate who has already had nine abortions. “I like her,” he told David.

They selected Goldie because she was not “a secret operative
of the Republican party.” Characters slap at “extremist Christian cults” and, a
strange obsession with the left these days, get to say “vagina.” (“I faint at
the sight of vaginas – they’re like tarantula faces,” Bryan said.

The episode ends on an artificial happy note. Goldie has
finally found a “family” and Murphy has driven home his point: “A family is a
family, and love is love.” And biology is mere tradition and up is down.
